摘要： A spread spectrum communications system that is operable to provide user-selectable data transfer rates comprises a user station for generating an access request and a gateway server for receiving the access request. The gateway server includes a rate unit for comparing a requested rate to assigned rates, a selector for selecting an available user channel and an available signaling alphabet, and an allocation unit for assigning the carrier, user channel, and alphabet to the access request. One of several offered transfer rates is assigned to the available user channel. Each offered rate corresponds to a set of signaling alphabets with low cross-correlation for data transfer.

摘要： A direct sequence spread spectrum signal processing system permits the receiver to be turned off during most of the acquisition phase of reception to significantly reduce the on time of the associated receiver front end. Power requirements are further reduced by use of very low power high accuracy time and frequency circuits in GPS based tracking units. The microprocessor based GPS tracking system is shut down almost all the time, using extremely little electrical power, and is powered up for very short periods of time at scheduled intervals by an extremely low power clock circuit with accuracy that varies with temperature. Each time the microprocessor is powered up, system temperature is recorded in memory. At times when the microprocessor is powered up, the GPS system is accessed and the GPS standard time is read. The difference between the low power clock circuit based time and the GPS based time is correlated with the recorded temperature history. A correction table, built from this data, provides a temperature history based correction to the low power clock based circuit without reference to the GPS system, and provides a highly accurate time standard. An additional table constructed in the microprocessor temperature compensates the local frequency standard used for frequency synthesis in satellite communication channels. This table is constructed by measuring offset between the calculated and actual synthesized frequency required to lock onto the satellite transmitted reference (pilot tone), and correlating this measured offset with the system ambient temperature.

摘要： A dc-free coding scheme that also provides channel gain employs a code that is based on an alphabet of two and comprises a list of N-dimensional vectors, where N is even, with a maximum run of two symbols. From this list, all vectors which begin or end in two identical symbols are eliminated. This avoids runs of longer than two consecutive symbols when vectors are concatenated. With this scheme, if the baseband transmission of a “+” is realized with positive voltage V and transmission of a “−” is realized with a negative voltage −V, then any concatenation of symbols is dc-free. Improved coding gain is realized by mapping modulated signals onto convolutional code trellises.
